6.0 stars. On my list of All Time Favorite Novels. Arguably the greatest Science Fiction novel ever written and certainly a standard by which other works are judged. The best way I can think of to describe the world and characters created by Frank Herbert in his Dune series is "staggering." HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION!!!
Winner: Hugo Award for Best Novel
Winner: Nebula Award Best Novel
Listed #1 of Locus Poll of All Time Greatest SF Novels

Quite simply, the best SF book ever written. Hebert's creation of the Desert planet and it's ecolgy is amazing. The way the planet shapes its people, along with the implanted Bene Gesserit religuos propaganda unite a whole population under one man - Paul Atreides.

The absolute greatest, in my humble opinion of course, science fiction with a point story ever written. I want to be a Freman!
